2 pcs (thin) swordfish fillet

Black olive oil

For the spaghetti

Blend all the ingredients. Make sure the water is very cold, strain and wring out as much as possible. Boil the liquid to 55°C and place the chlorophyll clot in a bowl with ice. For the white sauce with a swordfish, start by marinating the thin slices of swordfish fillet with oil, white wine, garlic cloves and a sprig of thyme. Add the swordfish and emulsify with butter. For the squid sauce, rub the squid with olive oil and white wine. Coat with oil and butter, diced tomato and parsley leaves.
